Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation technology for birch polypore extract, specifically a granulator for birch polypore extract. Background Technology

[0002] Chaga mushroom extract is a substance with various bioactive components extracted from the Chaga fungus. It is rich in polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and other active ingredients, and has important application value in the fields of medicine and health products. Since Chaga mushroom extract is usually in powder form, it has problems such as poor flowability, easy clumping, and inconvenience in consumption. Therefore, granulation is a key step in improving its stability, facilitating storage, transportation, and subsequent processing and use.

[0003] Currently, commonly used granulation equipment often faces the following problems when processing Chaga mushroom extract: First, during the mixing process, excessive heat is easily generated due to friction between materials and the influence of the external environment, which destroys the active ingredients in the Chaga mushroom extract. At the same time, the performance of the binder is also affected by the high temperature, thus affecting the quality of the granulated soft material. Second, the screening and collection process lacks an efficient grading and classification collection structure, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity of the particles. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to recover some non-compliant particles, resulting in raw material waste. Therefore, we propose a granulation equipment that can achieve uniform mixing, rapid cooling, improved energy utilization, and efficient screening and collection of Chaga mushroom extract.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a granulator for Chaga mushroom extract, comprising:

[0028] The granulator body 1 is set on the ground and is used to granulate the chaga mushroom extract. When the granulated soft material enters the inner cavity of the granulator body 1 through the discharge port 16, the internal granulation component is activated. The pressure roller and the die hole structure work together, and the conveying device pushes the soft material evenly between the pressure roller and the die. Under the extrusion action, the soft material forms strip-shaped particles through the die hole, and then is cut into particles according to the set length by the cutting mechanism. This achieves the function of converting the soft material into particles with uniform specifications, thereby greatly improving the standardization and production efficiency of granulation.

[0029] The screening and collection component 2 is installed at the discharge end of the granulator body 1 and is used to screen the granulated particles. The granulated particles enter the screening and collection component 2 from the discharge end of the granulator body 1 and fall into the screening plate 204 in the screening box 202. With the help of the inclined structure of the screening plate 204, the particles slide under the action of gravity and pass through the screen holes of different diameters. Particles that meet the specifications fall into the collection box 201 and are separated and classified by the isolation plate 203. Those that do not meet the specifications slide to the end for recycling, thereby achieving the function of particle grading, screening and classification collection, which greatly improves the uniformity of product particle size and raw material utilization.

[0030] The mixing assembly includes a cooling mechanism, a conical mixing vessel 3, and a driving mixing mechanism. The conical mixing vessel 3 is located on the top of the granulator body 1, away from the screening and collecting assembly 2. The cooling mechanism is located outside the conical mixing vessel 3 to accelerate the heat dissipation efficiency of the conical mixing vessel 3. The driving mixing mechanism is located on the conical mixing vessel 3 to mix and stir the birch extract and binder inside the conical mixing vessel 3 to form granulated soft material. The operator feeds the raw materials into the conical mixing vessel 3 through the feed inlet 15. The driving mixing mechanism drives the stirring blades 9 to stir. During this process, the friction of the materials easily generates heat. The cooling mechanism absorbs the heat in time through the low-temperature gas in the cooling chamber 6, avoiding problems such as the destruction of the birch extract components and the failure of the binder due to excessive temperature. This allows the materials to mix and form soft material at a suitable temperature, thereby achieving the effects of uniform mixing of raw materials and precise temperature control, and thus greatly improving the quality stability of the granulated soft material.

[0031] Furthermore, the screening and collection assembly 2 includes a collection box 201 installed on one side of the discharge end of the pellet mill body 1. A screening box 202 is installed on the top of the collection box 201. A screening plate 204 is fixedly connected inside the screening box 202, and an isolation plate 203 is fixedly connected inside the collection box 201. After the particles enter the screening box 202, they slide on the screening plate 204 and are classified through the sieve holes. The collection box 201 collects particles of different specifications separately through the isolation plate 203, avoiding particle mixing, thereby achieving the function of orderly screening and classified storage of particles, which greatly improves the convenience of subsequent packaging and use.

[0032] Furthermore, the screening plate 204 is configured as a trapezoidal plate structure, and the height of the side closer to the granulator body 1 is higher than the height of the other side away from the granulator body 1. The screening plate 204 has a variety of screen holes of different diameters inside. The trapezoidal structure allows the particles to slide naturally by gravity without the need for additional power. The multiple screen holes can screen particles of different sizes at the same time, which improves the screening efficiency and achieves the functions of energy-saving screening and simultaneous screening of multiple specifications, thereby greatly improving the economy and comprehensiveness of the screening operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the cooling mechanism includes a conical cooling cylinder 5 fitted around the outside of the conical stirring vessel 3. The top and bottom of the conical cooling cylinder 5 are sealed to the upper and lower outer walls of the conical stirring vessel 3. A cooling cavity 6 is formed between the inner wall of the conical cooling cylinder 5 and the outer wall of the conical stirring vessel 3. An air inlet 11 communicating with the cooling cavity 6 is provided at the bottom of one side of the conical cooling cylinder 5, and an air outlet 10 communicating with the cooling cavity 6 is provided at the top of the other side of the conical cooling cylinder 5. Low-temperature gas enters the cooling cavity 6 from the air inlet 11 and flows from bottom to top along the conical space, making full contact with the outer wall of the conical stirring vessel 3. It quickly removes the heat generated by stirring, avoiding production problems such as material deterioration and agglomeration caused by excessive temperature. The sealed setting ensures that the cold air does not leak out, enhancing the cooling effect. This achieves efficient heat exchange and full utilization of the cold air, thereby greatly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the conical stirring vessel 3.

[0034] Furthermore, a sealing cover 4 is installed on the top of the conical mixing vessel 3, and sealing rings for sealing the cooling chamber 6 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower outer walls of the conical mixing vessel 3. The sealing cover 4 prevents material from splashing and impurities from entering during mixing, and the sealing rings ensure the sealing of the cooling chamber 6, avoiding cold air leakage from affecting the cooling effect and preventing production problems caused by excessively high temperatures due to insufficient cooling. This achieves the effect of clean material mixing and efficient operation of the cooling system, thereby greatly improving the purity of the material and the working stability of the cooling mechanism.

[0035] Furthermore, the driving stirring mechanism includes a driving box 7 installed on top of the sealing cover 4. A driving disc 12 is rotatably installed inside the driving box 7. Multiple sets of driving blades 13 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the driving disc 12. A driving shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the driving disc 12. The bottom of the driving shaft 14 extends into the interior of the conical mixing vessel 3 and is fixedly connected to a stirring shaft 8. Multiple sets of stirring blades 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the stirring shaft 8. The low-temperature gas entering the driving box 7 impacts the driving blades 13, causing the driving disc 12 and the driving shaft 14 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring shaft 8 and the stirring blades 9 to rotate and stir the material. During the stirring process, the continuously flowing low-temperature gas can dissipate the heat generated by the stirring in time, avoiding excessively high temperatures that could affect the material mixing effect. This achieves the secondary utilization of cold air energy, thereby achieving the effect of power self-sufficiency and thorough mixing of materials, and thus greatly improving the energy efficiency of the equipment and the uniformity of material mixing.

[0036] Furthermore, one side of the drive box 7 is fixedly connected to the air outlet 10 via a pipe, and the other side of the drive box 7 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the external refrigeration device via a pipe; the gas discharged from the cooling chamber 6 enters the drive box 7 through the pipe to drive the blades, and then flows back to the external refrigeration device to be cooled again, forming a circulation loop, ensuring a continuous supply of low-temperature gas, effectively avoiding the problem of untimely heat dissipation and excessively high temperature caused by insufficient cold air, reducing the loss of cold energy, thereby achieving the effect of cold air recycling and energy saving, and thus greatly improving the energy utilization efficiency of the refrigeration system.

[0037] Furthermore, a discharge port 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical mixing vessel 3, and the bottom of the discharge port 16 extends into the inner cavity of the pellet mill body 1. Both sides of the top of the sealing cover 4 are fixedly connected to the feed ports 15. The raw materials are precisely fed into the conical mixing vessel 3 through the feed ports 15. Under the action of the cooling mechanism, the materials are always at a suitable temperature, avoiding changes in the properties of the soft material due to high temperature. The mixed soft material directly enters the pellet mill body 1 through the discharge port 16, reducing the loss and pollution during the material transfer process, thereby achieving the functions of convenient material transportation and clean production, and thus greatly improving the continuity of production and the utilization rate of materials.

[0038] Working Principle: In modern chaga mushroom deep processing plants, granulation is often required to efficiently produce chaga mushroom extract granules that meet specifications. During processing, operators first feed the chaga mushroom extract and an appropriate amount of binder into the conical stirred tank 3 through the feed inlets 15 on both sides of the top of the sealed cover 4. Then, the external cooling device is activated, and the cooled gas is first transported through a pipeline to the air inlet 11 at the bottom of one side of the conical cooling cylinder 5, and then enters the cooling chamber 6 between the conical cooling cylinder 5 and the conical stirred tank 3. The cooled gas flows orderly from bottom to top along the conical space in the cooling chamber 6. During this process, the cooled gas comes into full contact with the outer wall of the conical stirred tank 3, and quickly absorbs the heat of the material inside the tank through efficient heat exchange. The initial cooling of the conical mixing vessel 3 by the low-temperature gas helps to lower the internal temperature and prevent excessive heat from affecting the material properties, thus ensuring the stability of the material during subsequent stirring. After the low-temperature gas has completed the initial cooling of the conical cooling cylinder 5, it flows out from the outlet 10 at the top of the other side of the conical cooling cylinder 5, and then enters the drive box 7 through a pipe. The low-temperature gas entering the drive box 7 impacts the multiple sets of drive blades 13 on the outer surface of the drive disc 12, thereby driving the drive disc 12 to rotate. When the drive disc 12 rotates, it drives the stirring shaft 8 to rotate through the drive shaft 14, which in turn causes the multiple sets of stirring blades 9 on both sides of the stirring shaft 8 to rotate, thus fully mixing and stirring the material in the vessel. This allows the device to not only uniformly blend the birch extract with the binder to form granules with suitable texture, but also... The soft material provides a good foundation for the subsequent granulation process. Furthermore, the low-temperature gas, after cooling, can drive the stirring mechanism, thus achieving efficient energy utilization and improving the equipment's energy efficiency. Once the granulated soft material reaches the ideal state, it is discharged into the inner cavity of the granulator body 1 through the discharge port 16 at the bottom of the conical stirring vessel 3. The granulator body 1 then activates its internal granulation components, with its core pressure roller and die hole structure working in tandem. After entering the granulation cavity, the soft material is evenly pushed between the pressure roller and the die by the conveying device. As the pressure roller rotates, the soft material is subjected to continuous extrusion force, forced through the pre-specified die holes to form initial strip-shaped particles. Then, the cutting mechanism installed at the die hole outlet cuts the strip-shaped particles according to the set particle length. The pellets are cut into uniformly sized granules, efficiently converting soft material into pellets and significantly improving production efficiency. After pelleting, the pellets enter the screening and collection assembly 2 through the discharge end of the pellet mill body 1. The pellets first enter the screening box 202 and fall onto the trapezoidal screening plate 204, which is higher on the side closer to the pellet mill body 1. Due to the inclined setting of the screening plate 204, the pellets slide to the other side under the action of gravity. During this process, they pass through various screen holes of different diameters on the screening plate 204. Particles that meet the specifications fall into the collection box 201 below through the screen holes and are classified and collected in different areas separated by the isolation plate 203 inside the collection box 201. Particles that do not meet the specifications slide down the screening plate 204 to the end.This facilitates subsequent recycling and processing, enabling particle grading and screening to ensure uniform product particle size.
